Hi all,
I've been doing a bit of reading since finding this forum, and it seems that most sources say brown, diatom algae should only be present in newly set up (uncycled) tanks, and last a few weeks.
But I still get brown algae in my tank, despite it being fully matured - why's this??
My water stats are pretty normal I think:-
Ammonia - Zero
(NO2) Nitrite - Zero
(NO3) Nitrate - ~10 ppm
pH - 7 - 8
